North

Within the Northern vicinity of the city, the wealthy gather behind meticulously trimmed hedges and high-class architecture. The pristine streets are paved with stone and the storefronts are brightly lit and inviting - for the right clientele. In the North, every establishment is eager to cater to the rich and the wealthy. Many such places are used to the sometimes peculiar requests of the otherworldly but here there is little that money cannot buy - whether it happens to be illegal or merely involves looking the other way. Vampires and Dark Hunters are often found upon these Northern streets, their long lives often contributing to their sizable wealth which allows them the luxuries that the North provides.

It wasn't often that Ceara graced the walls of her establishment from her rooms above. After all, wasn't the sign of a successful business it's ability to operate without the need for the owner around all the time? Ceara had spent her due time when it first opened helping behind the bar, cleaning, and managing inventory. Now her main duty involved just signing the paychecks and listening out for any stirring below that required her presence. Thankfully her clientele weren't the rowdy individuals that made up the customers of the bars in the West.

The voice of her daywalker and bartender, Yoland, came through on the intercom in her office alerting her to a particular customer entering her bar. This woman had shown herself a few times and taken over the lounge with a certain air that at first Ceara didn't care for. Even though her place was for the upper class, she still held it as a sanctuary for all kind. This woman's particular entourage tended to scare away customers whom were wary of suits. Ceara had simply given order to her staff to follow through with their award winning customer service but this was seemingly becoming a habit of hers. A sigh parted Ceara's lips as she rose from her office chair. She hadn't been planning on descending into the bar tonight but it seemed inevitable now. It was time that she confronted and found out who this woman was and why she was disturbing her bar on a regular basis.

Ceara slowly descended the stairs from her rooms above the bar into the luxurious atmosphere of leather and wood. The vampire had donned a simple and elegant satin shoulder sleeved dress with a layer of intricate lace and beading over it with her brunette locks falling freely over her shoulders. Those honed hazel eyes didn't have to search very far to see the woman seated on the step-up platform lounge area with her entourage stationed about. There was a slight purse to Ceara's lips as the entire atmosphere was altered by those guards presence. It was not conducive to business. However, Ceara had many years of experience before opening the bar in managing relations so knew how to handle herself.

Her features smoothed to that of light welcome and curiosity as she approached the woman. She gave a side-long look to the guards as if silently daring them to stop her before looking back to their leader. "I see my staff has seen to your likings once more." She offered a simper of a smile. "My name is Ceara, and this is my bar. I apologize for not greeting you before but my staff is well trained to handle the place. I do have a concern with your...entourage though," She motioned to the guards, "it makes for an unfriendly atmosphere and turns away my shyer customers."
